Value of: F - Barrett Hayton, Utah (RFA)

[Jersey Fan 12]

Trying to get a sense of where he stands as a 24-year-old. Seemed to have a bit of a breakout in 2022-23.

Played just 33 games do to injury this past season and did not produce points at the same rate.

Probably end up just keeping him because what a team will offer be basically just giving him away.

 

[cwede]

not-quite-established, waivers-vulnerable, marginal players can have light or unpredictable value
BUT it only takes one team whose scout remembers him fondly

most likely trade outcome would be either
"change of scenery' for comparable age/pedigree/success
or as a sweetener in a deal where he is not the priority

 

[Lockin17]

His value is really low atm.
Mind as well keep him.

 

[Dead Coyote]

He has the same value as Kotkaniemi or Puljujarvi- none.

 

[dirtydanglez]

3rd or 4th round pick.

 

[Schemp]

His value would be to prove he has value!

 

[biturbo19]

His value is nebulous to the point that Utah will indubitably just keep him.


Unless some team wants him in part of a package as a "lottery ticket" in exchange for a better veteran center...he'll just remain a Utah Yute. While they continue to figure out just how overdrafted he was, or not. The upside there is still too much to just give him away when they badly need good Centers. And they're already fully sunk into the cost of investment with an overly high 1st rounder. Nobody is going to meet that value.

3rd or 4th round pick.

I would pay that everyday
Swap Mangi for Hayton?

 

[leeroggy]

Here's an ironic offer: Wahlstrom and Iskhakov for Hayton

 

[Voight]

I mean his career high in points is 43. He hasn't shown he can be anything more than a 3C.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

BUF - Hayton
UTAH - BUF 3rd '24, '25

 

[Dog]

BUF - Hayton
UTAH - BUF 3rd '24, '25

That's probably the best deal.

 

[elchud]

How about Jokiharju for Hayton?

Jokiharju is way more valuable than 2 3rds.

 

[Tahoeblue]

I like Hayton. Floated his name as a player that could possibly pop and be a late bloomer for the Isles to possibly offset losing Pageau/Nelson. I also like Ross Colton as another candidate. Being a 2C for BH maybe wishful thinking, but always rooted for the kid and can't wait to see the entire Utah team in action in a few months.

 

[habsterr]

Jordan Harris. Similar age, both missed time with injury. Neither have much value.

 

[Toby Flenderson]

I would like Hatton on the Pens he’d be a real nice 3C option.

Is Utah trying to compete now? If so maybe Rakell for Hayton. If not, maybe a 2nd and a 4th?

Offering a wing for BH? Then offer draft capital? WHY would Utah do that?

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

I agree! F that guy.

Mime as well indeed
